Formic acid is produced as a by-product in the manufacture of acetic acid. However, the industrial demand for formic acid is higher than can be made from this route, so dedicated production routes have been developed. One method combines methanol and carbon monoxide in the presence of a strong base, such as sodium methoxide, to produce methyl formate, according to the chemical equation:
As well as its carboxylic acid group which gives the molecule polarity, benzoic acid has a benzene ring which is hydrophobic enabling it to mix with many solvents. Acetone is a good and versatile solvent because it also has polarity and hydrophobic groups.
Benzoic acid is only partially soluble in methanol. It has a predicted solubility rate of 2.246 M in methanol, which is low and means that it will only partially dissolve.
The sulfuric acid protonates the carboxylic oxygen
Benzoic acid reacts with sodium carbonate to form sodium benzoate salt which is soluble in water.
Yes! Done in Organic Chemistry Lab.
They are nonpolar substances.
Both have nonpolar molecules.
It is partially soluble.
Solubility of benzoic acid in acetone is 1.350 M

I can't find a number, but I found this: Benzoic acid is slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, very slightly soluble in benzene and acetone. (see link on the left under Web Links) This implies not very much benzoic acid will dissolve in benzene. This other site (the MSDS for benzoic acid) says this: SOLVENT SOLUBILITY: Soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform, acetone, carbon disulfide, oil of turpentine, carbon tetrachloride, fixed and volatile oils; slightly soluble in petroleum ether, hexane. This does make it sound fairly soluble! Hard to say which is right. This can easily be determined by experiment however!
HCl + NaOH = H2O + NaCl Or, water and table salt--which will dissolve in water. Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, will not be formed; neither of the two starting chemicals contains carbon, and benzoic acid contains a lot of it. - - - - - Benzoic acid and sodium chloride
Yes all organic compounds dissolve in ethers.

yes it does with heat, although it might take a super long time when heat up.
Try acetone.
